Marc got a call from the Omaha Chapter of AIGA, from long-time friend Sandy Jewett. Could he come up to Omaha to speak? Would he consider dragging along his amigo DJ Stout, partner at the Pentagram office in Austin? Yes and yes.

Over lunch of Tex-Mex at Maudie's, the boys concocted a scheme to try something a bit different. Particularly as each had heard the others' rap before. Four rounds of mayhem, each round based on a different theme: Wolves, Men, Work, Love. Each round consisting of ten words. Each word given 60 seconds for said designer to try and knock the other's head off. Figuratively speaking, of course.
